[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that your MIL shouldn't get to be the one to manage or control your family's Christmas processes. Our large extended family had a hybrid approach. We did one round of everyone open one thing, and then moved on to a free for all. Kids were done quickly and then played while adults were more leisurely opening while talking, seeing what the kids got, etc... It seemed to satisfy almost everyone, except my one aunt who wanted all 25 people to open gifts one at a time around the room. There's no right or wrong way to open gifts, IMO. But, when she is the host MIL calls the shots. As a guest at your family's holiday celebration, she should smile and go with the flow.[/quote]
